How to Find the Number If the Non-Motor Vehicle Fine Receipt Is Lost?

If you lose your non-motor vehicle fine receipt, you can request a replacement at the traffic police station and then pay the fine according to the number. If the fine is not paid within 15 days, late fees will be incurred. You do not need the fine receipt to check for violations; online inquiries are authoritative. Currently, the most accurate way to check motor vehicle violations and driver's license points is to log in to the traffic bureau website of the vehicle's registration location. Below are some precautions regarding driver's license use: 1. Driver's licenses have an expiration date: A driver's license is only valid for legal driving within its expiration period. Driving with an expired license without renewal is illegal. 2. Avoid accumulating 12 penalty points within 12 months: A driver's license has 12 points available over a 12-month period. It is crucial to avoid accumulating all 12 points within this timeframe. Otherwise, you will need to attend a course at the local vehicle management office and pass an exam. If you fail the exam, you must retake it until you pass before you can retrieve your driver's license.

I remember I lost my last non-motor vehicle penalty ticket too, which was really frustrating. Later, I asked a friend who said the most straightforward way is to call the traffic violation handling hotline, such as the 12345 citizen service hotline, and provide your license plate number or ID number—they can look up the ticket number for you. I also tried checking the penalty records by entering my personal information on the traffic management bureau's WeChat public account, and it was quite fast. However, it's essential to handle it as soon as possible; otherwise, the fine will keep increasing. Nowadays, I've developed a habit of taking photos of penalty tickets and saving them on my phone to avoid losing them again. There was also a time when I went to the traffic police station in person to inquire—just bring your ID documents, and they'll help you. In short, don't panic; there are plenty of ways to handle it. With smarter systems now, many places allow you to bind your account directly through an app to view all your ticket statuses.

I found a really convenient method by downloading the local traffic police app. For example, in our area, we have the "Traffic Management 12123" app. After registering and logging in, just enter your driver's license number to view all fine records, including the ticket numbers. Even if you lose the paper ticket, the digital version is right there on your phone. The process is super simple—just a few minutes to complete—and you can even pay online, saving you a trip. Additionally, some regions support WeChat mini-programs and Alipay city services, which automatically push fine notifications after binding, which is quite thoughtful. If you're not comfortable using a smartphone, calling the official hotline to check is a more reliable option. Also, keep an eye on your notification texts or emails, as fines usually come with initial notifications that include records. Nowadays, most cities have digital backups for these records.

Just go directly to the local traffic management bureau and ask. I brought my ID card, and the counter staff checked the number in their system, and it came out right away. Last time I lost my bicycle ticket, that's how I handled it—the staff was quite patient and I could even pay the fine on the spot. If you don't know the address, call 12345 for consultation. Don't forget to bring other documents like your driver's license just in case. This face-to-face approach is the most straightforward, resolves things quickly, and avoids information errors. If you have a computer at home, you can also check on the official website by entering your personal information, but I think going in person is more reliable. Go early to settle it early and avoid paying extra late fees.
